The elevator, the apartment and the entire exhibition were great. Identical, historical, interesting and hands-on. You can explain the GDR to your child and tell them what it was like.

The company was very flexible, we were able to start our booked trip (10 people) earlier. Explanations on the ship were good and sufficient.

Great tour guide, explanations were in German and English, linguistically top, very informative and entertaining, even for me as a Berliner there was something new to learn. Electric boat, quiet, no smell and very comfortable seats. Perfect and absolutely recommendable

Was very nice, but it was hard to find the location, because we hardly know which ship we were supposed to board. We also noticed that the prices differ online and on-site. Other than that, the atmosphere, sights and people were very accommodating and nice.

Enjoy the best of Berlin’s historical attractions with this cost-saving combo that includes admission to the DDR Museum and a 1-hour Berlin city cruise.

DDR Museum

Step back in time with a visit to the DDR Museum, one of Berlin’s most interactive museums. Experience life in the former Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR) or East Germany. Unlike traditional museums, here you can touch, hold, and interact with exhibits. Explore a fully-furnished DDR flat, drive a Trabant, and even take a simulated family drive through prefabricated districts. This attraction is a must for history enthusiasts and offers a deep understanding of life in East Germany.

Berlin City Cruise

After your visit to the DDR Museum, board a 1-hour cruise on the River Spree to witness the city's best sights from a different perspective. Cruise past some of the city's major attractions, including the Reichstag, the Government District, the House of World Cultures, Bellevue Palace, and the Victory Column. With an audio guide available in various languages, learn about historical and cultural attractions like the Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, and more. An upgraded ticket also offers live commentary onboard, giving you a fuller understanding of this vibrant city.
